All my parents have always had one car each. That’s the first thing that comes to mind. My family doesn’t do that.
My step-mom always had these weird superstitions, that I never really adopted.
Both my biological parents tended to hold on to things way past their usefulness. This is a habit that I’m trying to shed, but haven’t yet.
When my parents separated, when I was eleven, I think the idea of a traditional household blew up. Then we went around picking up whatever pieces we thought would be useful.
A wise man once said. “Ideas can change, and beliefs are an anchor”. Build your traditions on ideas, not beliefs.
